Underwater networks (UWNs) have the potential to find applications in a wide range of aquatic activities, such as oceanographic data collection, pollution monitoring, offshore exploration, seismic monitoring, assisted navigation and tactical surveillance. In most cases, these networks will operate in harsh and constrained environments where communication disruption (and, hence, delay) is frequent. In this respect, an underwater network can be viewed as a delay/disruption-tolerant network (DTN) requiring specialized communication protocols. In this chapter, we explore a number of the current DTN solutions for underwater networks and analyze their features. Then, based on the analysis, we will establish our own idea of underwater delay-tolerant networking and demonstrate how DTN concepts can assist communication protocols in underwater networks.
